Description

I noticed that on a Mac, pressing command-F on highlighted text will not automatically enter the text into the 'Find' field in the Find / Replace window. I have to copy and paste text from the Arduino IDE. This is different than the behavior in Arduino for Windows. Is this a bug?

I am using Arduino version 1.8.13, on MacOS 10.15.5.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the Find / Replace behavior in Arduino IDE 1.8.13 on MacOS 10.15.5, using selected text and command-F, then compare it with Arduino for Windows. The issue is done when highlighted text automatically appears in the Find field on Mac.
